Hotsy Totsy Club, Albany

Hotsy Totsy Club, Ink & watercolor, 5x8"
The Hotsy Totsy Club was over 70 years old when new owners took it over and transformed it from a run down, dirty dive for neighborhood drunks into a quirky, retro neighborhood dive that is a fun place to hangout and equally fun to sketch. More about the transformation and our evening on my blog here.

At the bar - a much simplified sketch thanks to the hot toddy
When it got cold out we went inside where it was warmer but dark. Judith and I shared a hot toddy and sketched until 9:00 when they serve hot stew on Tuesday nights (Stewsdays). It was delicious shrimp gumbo. Yum!

It's dark inside the Hotsy Totsy Club but lots to see and sketch anyway
This was the first night Ceinwen joined us to sketch and she wasn't a member of the blog yet so I posted her sketches for her.
